I have never heard that Myopia is purely genetic. Where is that claim even coming from?
I'm unfortunately quite familiar with that.

Beyond getting slower updates, etc, FIPS mode has the unintentional side effect of being the "look at me I have interesting stuff" flag for potential attackers. It is usually quite easy to determine remotely that a networked device is in FIPS mode, too (due to allowed crypto protocols, etc).

The company I work for changed its internal routing of data to use encryption for 100% of traffic crossing the public internet. I have to think everyone else is doing this as well. Is spying on cables like this even useful? How would ay usable data be extracted?
This is hn and we should recognize the inherent weakness in electronic voting machines for the blatant issue it is. That said, the primary retort I keep seeing is something along the lines of "well, but these produce an auditable paper ballot".

So my question is this: How much of those auditable trails have actually been audited, in what places, and in what numbers (I don't think spot checks will suffice to reassure people, the numbers need to be a statistically significant percentage in the most contested places), and, more importantly where are the results of these audits being published?

Too many arguments boil down to people, and motives, not facts. It is a bad idea to put the short term desire to see a foe vanquished over the long term cost of bad laws and policy.

Laws are not perfect, and I'm not convinced we want the basis of democracy to be closed source voting machines, or that even if we do, the checks and balances as they stand are currently 100% correct.

I saw posts yesterday asking if it's still worth buying GME at market open. I was sure these people are crazy and about to lose their asses. I just checked price action a few minutes ago and it went from $60 to $144 before selling off back to $70s. Crazy.

It does seem like a convenient "just-so" anecdote, and I've never experienced or heard of myopia just going away like that, but I also don't think it sounds completely implausible.
No. Communism was supposed to be abrupt revolution and transformation. The democratic socialism was seen as enemy, because it made people calmer, happier and less likely to commit to revolution.
Wills, marriage certificates, birth certificates, etc etc. All replaceable sure, however you almost never need to use them and if your home burns down you're going to hate that extra pain in the ass after the fact.

I'm sure I could avoid using one, for instance getting a fire safe. However since the bank offers it for free, why not use it?

Also, you have the option of offsite storage for any media backups. There is always the "Cloud" however sometimes it's nice to know your wedding photos are in a secure location.
Oh, no. It seems much more useful than that. By knowing credit, salary, age, and address... it's much easier to target high "value" targets for for on-line, or more likely in Brazil in person burglary or home invasion. This also gives cover to individuals banks and other organizations to drain large accounts by "guessing" passwords, since now it could be "anyone".

Like Covid, this is likely to be another generational wealth transfer event. It will be interesting to see how much stays in the country, but I expect most of it will.

I'm really glad to see this product. I'm also more tech than fitness, but I try to get in a quick row or treadmill run every day.

In my case, I purchased a Concept 2 a couple years ago, not because I'm a rowing enthusiast but because "best rowing machine" seemed to point to it and it cost less than my treadmill =P

I found a mount online for the Concept 2 that can attach my iPad and the last few weeks I've been using Apple Fitness+, but the select is really limited. Also, like all Apple Fitness+ programs, there is currently no feedback between what I'm doing and what the program is asking/pushing me to do, which is disappointing.

I probably won't purchase your product in the near future, given that I have a semi-working solution today. But I will encourage other folks to check it out if they are in the market for a rowing machine. And if you decide to go pursue a strictly software/services solution, I absolutely would run your programs on my iPad while I row on my Concept 2 :)
Thank you for all these pointers, this is really cool.

I worked in an aerospace startup for seven years, and while not an expert I really know my way around some spacey stuff. People speaking authoritatively about that on HN also make me cringe, I rarely intervene because they almost always engage in a discussion about how they are right even when I send references to papers and book chapters. In Reddit it's even worse.

With law and politics I feel there's a similar attitude going around but it's of course more an up for debate topic.

They are explicitly pursuing a demisable sat design.

Note - despite other posters claims, this is not a requirement and there are other approaches as well for the safety side here. The most common is to deorbit into the ocean (the sats are maneuverable) with a failure rate and part hazard rate low enough that remaining risk is minimized. I would expect they would deorbit into ocean / near non-populated areas for other reasons as well.

As an extra data-point outside the x86 world, this is also how modern POWER processors work. POWER9 integrates the PCIe and memory controllers onto the CPU die itself. This is one reason why then open source P9 computers from Raptor exist and have sort-of sane pricing (for such a tiny and niche market) -- a lot of the traditionally hard components are integrated onto the CPU, which makes designing boards around it that much easier vs needing complex chipsets.
Actually most modern systems support image embedding, animations, styling, and positioning with TTML. It’s an official spec, supported by every television, Netflix, Chromecast, etc.

It’s also a format no fansubber ever heard of.

Generally optical comms systems in space are not affected by Doppler shift because of their modulation scheme, not the directionality of the beams. They tend to use some type on-off keying (sometimes called OOK) where data is encoded in the pattern or duration of fully on and fully off laser pulses. If there's a variation in the frequency of laser light being received, it'll still just register an on or off signal on the photodetector on the receiving spacecraft. Radios, on the other hand, use modulations that rely much more on the actual frequencies and phases of the radio signals they receive, making frequency shift due to Doppler a much bigger factor.

The radio encoding schemes are more efficient in a bits per Hz-of-EM-spectrum sense, but optical systems have the advantage of being at such a high frequencies that even "inefficient" coding schemes can reach very useful datarates.
This has the actual data for the hand recount.

In Floyd county more than 2,000 votes switched sides out of roughly 40,000 votes. So it now has a real world demonstrated error rate of 0.5% which is not insignificant.
For example, I would not trust a calculator with a 0.5% error to do my taxes. I wouldn't even us it on an exam.
From tons of articles, medical advices, etc. that insist that "you don't develop myopia from reading, monitor work, video games, etc".

They not not say that it's "purely genetic", but that's the impression one gets, that all those lifestyle params don't play any role...

Wikipedia says it's "a mix of genetic and environmnetal factors", and includes all of the above factors I've mentioned. But I've read many times in the past decades articles insisting that those other things don't matter (and presenting it as the medical consensus)...

I don't think you can make specific philosophical assertions about a very large group based off a hobby. Just like we can't say that all react developers are minimalists, we can't say all WSBer's are nihilists or anything else.

I think you have some very fundamental misunderstandings about 4chan, including who it was composed of and what both their stated and achieved goals were. As a hint, remember that 4chan is a chan made up of several sub-boards with different user niches across boards. Even if we narrow it down to /b/ or /pol/, you still have competing internal factions and different movements across time.

Nor is your quote an example of nihilism, even in context. Nihilism is a rejection of perceived realities and the certainties tied to those realities - someone who believes truth doesn't really exist is engaging in a form of nihilism. You seem to want to say something like "they're attacking social norms" as best as I can understand.
All the Parler Videos from the Capitol Riot Synced Together
Something that struck me about the Arizona hand recount numbers: most of the reporting precincts(? - I use this term in a general sense, I don't remember how the numbers were grouped) reported that hand counts in batches of about 1000 votes showed an accuracy of about 99%, i.e., on the order of 5-10 ballots incorrectly counted (again, rough numbers from memory). But then some of the precincts reported "nope, we found 100% accuracy; no discrepancies", for the same batch sizes. That struck me as odd. There wasn't a spectrum where 0-10 or even 0-20 were the outliers; it was bimodal around 5-10 and 0. Or whatever the actual numbers were, my point is bimodality with a mode at 0. That was odd.
> keep their name in the media until they find other hosting services.

This is the winner right here. It's a rather brilliant play, it keeps reminding their users that they exist. If they can find new hosting before they run out of ways to get in the headlines, they stand a good chance of keeping many of their users.

I would expect to see another wild filing after discovery. They'll find a quote from low-level employees from Amazon and Twitter talking to each other, inflate their credentials so they seem like they have authority, and then make a Sherman Act claim out of it.

I'm curious what lawyer would be willing to file these. The judge even takes the time to point out the places where Parler undermines their own case. This seems like it's just sacrificing your legal career; who would hire you after showing up in court and arguing this with a straight face?

Yes, just like HN wants you to write content in the form of comments for free. I get your point, but this is an overly simplistic economic reduction of the incentives and value propositions.

Yes, Twitter wants you fact check for free. They also want you to write Tweets for free. In return, the hypothetical value proposition is that the tweets you and others read are more likely to be factual. If this is successful at scale, it means that the voters in the hopefully democratic place you live will be more informed and more likely to vote for reality based policies.

So, sure, they don't give you a nickel when you fact check. But that doesn't mean it doesn't (possibly) provide sufficient value to you to be worth doing.

Good points

A bit more detail on what I've read, the banking was designed for 130 mph to be used by high-speed convoy troop transports.

I'd expect your usage description to be the norm, but to fight an on-continent war, I'd expect that they'd close the roads, and send through the convoys, and since 2899mi / 24h is 120.8 mph, it'd be doable.

The Cannonball Run is indeed approaching 24h seems to have just gotten to 25:39[1]! Of course, they have to deal with normal traffic out of NYC and into LA, and avoid cops the whole time. With the the cops clearing the roads and any street-legal car allowed, I'd bet under 17h would be the norm

Offsite storage of small, highly value items. Important documents especially (e.g.,.duplicate official copies of birth certificates and similar documents as offsite backup, because getting them from the source can be time consuming, and present chicken and egg problems.)

A lot of resources on product management are mixing what some commentators are pointing here: roadmap can mean:

1. Communication tool to tell others in the organization (or even outside) what you're planning to build.

2. A framework for your product and/or engineering team that helps you prioritize the work.

This article obviously focuses on the latter. One of the most common mistakes however is that PMs try to use a single deliverable for both.

Yes, there are interesting tools trying to address this but my advice is to study different frameworks to help you think about what your main challenges are - then stand up the process in a spreadsheet as you'll need a lot of flexibility to get to something that works in your specific case. Only then look for dedicated products and choose the one that works best for the process you ended up with.

Ask HN: Programming Language to Code on Mobile
Hey HN, I realized that I could have more time to work on personal projects if I could simply code on my phone. I was considering go, as it is quite terse in my opinion but I was wondering what other languages could be a great fit to code with on a small screen (terse but readable obviously, not brainfuck).

> It's definitely shades all over the world. I only really know about Japan's culture 12th hand honestly so the only thing that's really filtered down is that it seems kind of repressed in public having gotten a big infusion of US laws and ideas post WW2 and there's some issues with creeps in public?

Japan is a civil law country with an entirely different legal system than the U.S.A..

Japanese law knows the principle of “one witness is no witness” as many others do. In particular in sexual assault cases it is often the word of the accuser vs. that of the accused, in Japan as a matter of law that cannot result into a conviction absent further evidence, in the U.S.A. it can.

Another issue is that in Japan, confessions are treated far more seriously and the police is permitted to interrogate in quite extreme ways, often without a defence attorney.

So it often comes down to willpower, whether the defendant can keep protesting innocence when being sleep deprived and mentally worn down, without such a confession, a conviction is almost impossible, but with it, it is assured.

> I think a lot of that is due to the target audience being largely women so it's written from and towards what the audience wants to read. Most TV and movie romances show a predominantly predatory almost (sometimes explicitly) coercive romance especially in media aimed at men.

And in Japanese fiction the target audience's sex is irrelevant for this.

Romance fiction targeted at females will typically feature a female protagonist who initially despises the love interest, but is eventually won over, often still having rather mixed feelings about the latter.

This story is more or less the same in male-targeted Japanese romance fiction, except the protagonist is now male.

The only real difference is that, quintessentially, the female protagonist is conflicted and indecisive, on some level attracted to the love interest, but on another considering him very unsuitable, and in male-targeted stories, the protagonist is implausibly dense and fails to realize the love interest is in love with him, despite all the cues obvious to the audience.

It's actually somewhat rational. Say you just graduated college and make 30k as a waiter. You scrape together savings, loans, CCs, etc. and pull together 20k. Take that to Robinhood 2-3x it with margin and place a 50k bet that has a 8% chance to pay off 10x. If you "win" you're up 15 years of wages or more. If you lose, well, you declare bankruptcy and shit gets wiped. It's not like you were buying a house or a nice car on 30k a year anyways.

I think that some of their points are good. I think the major one is that unless you run your own instance you have no ownership over your identity (save the mastodon migration tools). I think it is weird that if I want to use Mastodon to post short messages and PeerTube to post videos I need two different identities. I think it would have been better if I could have a shared identity that could be used across multiple fediverse apps, or used to move my identity from a "shared" provide to a new one, or a self-hosted one.

I also think that length-limited posts are not a great basis for a social network, but that is not mastodon specific.
